Hello

Thanks for your query at DoctorSpring.com

From the trichoscan findings the percentage of anagaen hair is more than the telogen hair. That shows the hair is in the growing phase. That's a good sign. Greying of hair can't be treated and measures to prevent it are limited.

The supplement fact of the product that you sent me indicates very less concentration of biotin and pantothenic acid which is actually more beneficial in hair growth.

I wouldn't recommend the above product as it won't help much. Biotin and pantothenic acid need to be in a much higher concentration. Sea weeds don't have standardized dose or efficacy parameters. Hence for a young child i wouldn't be able to determine the side effect profile.

Please let me know if you have any queries.

Take care
Regards.

Hello

Thank you for your follow up.

By sea weeds i meant the contents like nettle leaf etc and also the different berries and horsetail leaf.

I would recommend only a multivitamin supplement with higher concentrations of biotin and pantothenic acid.

You will need to get it from a pharmacy.
Hope this helps, feel free to discuss further
